How the Democrats May Control the
Choice of the Next President.
lCopynsh, 1857 By tte California Assoets;e7 Iresl
WAsHINGroN, November tb.-TSpecial. I
Among the several contested election
cases pending before the next House of
representatives, none will attract so much
attention as those from California. 1t is
barely possible that the Presidential elec-
ton may be thrown into The House of Rep
resentatives, where each State will cast its
vote, 10 be controlled by majority OF the
State delegation. As the delegations now
stand, or will stand upon the organization
of the House. the Republicans would elect
the President in the House, and they would
elect the Vice President in the Senate.
In case of failure by the people TO elect,
the Constitution requires that from the
persons having the highest number of
electoral votes, not exceeding three, in list
of those voted for for President, the House
shall choose Immediately by ballot. If no
changes shall occur the Republicans will
control twenty votes by States and the
Democrats seventeen. The delegation from
and one Democrat. Therefore, that State
would vote in the House for President.
For Vice-President the Senate is required
to elect from two persons, the highest of
those voted for. A quorum for that pur-
pose shall consist of two-thirds of the whole
number of Senators, and q majority Of the
whole number shall be necessary to elect.
But, while the Republicans have majority
of the State delegations in the House, the
Democrats have majority of the members
of that body, and by a change Of two seats
only they could transfer the power to
choose President to themselves.
If Judge Lowry DemocraD, who con-
tests the seat of the Republican from the
Twelfth Indiana District, is given the seat,
it will change the political complexion OF
that delegation in the House.
From California two Democrats are con-
testing the right of two Republican men,
bers to seats in the House. Iu the Fifth
District Sullivan, who was the Democratic
candidate. maintains that FELTON,, his Re
publican opponent, who was awarded the
certificate, was not elected, but that he
| (Sullivan) was. The testimony taken by
Sullivan in his effort to get the seat fills u
large printed volume.
From the Sixth District Mr.. Vandever
! (Republican) was returned as elected. His
Democratic opponent, Lynch, OF Los An
geles, insists that he was legally elected
| and that be can demonstrate it 10 the salts
faction of the House He has also taken a
great deal of testimony in his own behalf
The seating of Messrs. Sullivan and Lynch,
and Judge Lowery, of Indiana, in the
| place of the Republicans who were re-
turned as elected, would give the Democrats
the delegations of nineteen States, and
leave the Republicans with eighteen, which
would enable the Democrats TO declare
their candidate for President elected.

He had worked there seven days in q harv-
est field. He could find no trace of Dr.

occasions, and had once given him some
medicine out of the graduate. previous to

WASHINGTON, November 17th.-[Special.l !
At o'clock this afternoon the lobby of the

British and Canadian officials, brought TO

the Fisheries Commission. Mr.. Chamber
lain and Mr.. Tupper, two of the English
pienipOteniiaries, arrived tonight together

sentative of her Majesty on the Commits
sion. met the visitors on their arrival ut the

tary Dayard have been in the CITY fer sew
eral days.
The sessions OF the Commission will be
held in the diplomatic room ut The State
Department. The Commissioners will be
presented TO the President probably on Sat
urday. The day for the beginning of the
session Of the Conference has not been
fixed, but it is thought probable that the
British Commissioners will not require
more than few days for consultation, and
that the more formal work of the Commits
si0ners will begin some time next week
1t is probable that the session will be with
closed doors.
POWERS OF THE COMMISSION.
WASHINGTON, November 17ih-Some
confusion exists as to the functions Of the
Fisheries Commission which is about to
meet here. The present Commission comes
together with no other power than that of
a conference upon a question which has
practically been an open one as long as
this country has had an existence. Briefly
stated it has been from tie beginning the
claim Of the United States that, whatever
privileges the treaties with Great Britain
recognized as due Ia Americans, were orig
insl rights, and were not in any sense
grants or concessions for which something
could be demanded in return. In other
words, when the territory once under the
control OF Great Britain was divided, the par-
tition related to land alone, all rights upon
the waters remaining common to vessels of
both nations.
This the Britons have always denied.
Treaties and arrangements heretofore have
been makeshltts, securing recognition of
our rights in one way or another, but
merely for the time being, while postpon-
ing the main question indefinitely. The
present Commission may arrive at an in
depreciation of the existing treaties, exactly
defining the rights of Americans: or, find
ing this impossible. it may agree upon
some notifications to be recommended to
the treaty-making branches of the two
Governments. In either of these cases the
Commission will have accomplished the
purpose of its creation. The Commission
cannot deal, under its present powers, with
the question of commercial union with
Canada.
